[@Beautifulgirl127]

I can't thank you enough for this explanation! You literally make me more excited about writing, but I have just one big broblem which is lack of vocabulary in academic English. What should I do in this case, dear professor?

[@LearnAcademicEnglish]

Great question! I don’t think you should worry about using academic vocabulary in your writing too much because the most important thing with writing is that you have a good, interesting argument with strong ideas to support your argument, and the organization of your writing is clear. That means a clearly organized essay with clear sentences. Using academic vocabulary is just a bonus, and sometimes people try to hard to use fancy vocabulary, which can make their writing sound strange. The best way to improve your academic vocabulary is to read and to learn the academic word list. Do you know about the academic word list? You can Google it and find it online. Those are the most common words that are used in academic English.

[@Beautifulgirl127]

@@LearnAcademicEnglish Thank you a million! Honestly, I never heard of the academic word list, but I am going to search for it right now. I appreciate your help, dear professor.

Is it important to paraphrase the prompt in the introduction? Thank you.

[@LearnAcademicEnglish]

Sometimes paraphrasing the prompt in the introduction looks like lazy writing, and for that reason. teachers or others who evaluate writing don't like when the prompt is repeated or paraphrased in the introduction. However, usually the thesis statement has some words from the prompt in it. I have a couple of videos on thesis statements that might be helpful.

[@codeaxen]

though have one question if u've been asked to define and discuss how do someone go about that?

[@LearnAcademicEnglish]

Good question. Definition essays can be tricky. Hopefully you have already brainstormed ideas and made an outline to help you see your overall organization. Now, look at the ideas that you will talk about in your body paragraphs. What is the overall idea? For example, do you explain a word in different ways? Do you show that the word is difficult to define? You can make a thesis based on that: While X is an important concept, it can be difficult to define. or X can be defined by looking at it from three different perspectives. Hopefully those examples give you some ideas of how to proceed. Good luck!

Hi dear jeena, 1)regular exercising is the best habit (adjective+gerund) 2) a/the regular exercising is the best habit (changed into a verbal noun). Is the second sentence correct? In addition to that I would like you tell me it's possible or not if a gerund is turned into a verbal noun forcefully with any random words, is it possible or not??

How do I begin to write an assignment?

[@LearnAcademicEnglish]

Good question! Sometimes getting started is the hardest part. The first step is to take the question or assignment that your teacher gave you and sit down with a piece of paper. Brainstorm ideas. Write down every idea that you have for at least 10 minutes. Here's a video about that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGjdfnaFqKp1i5o After that, look at the ideas and think about how you can organize them into paragraphs. Remember that the most important thing is to answer the question that your teacher gave you. After you know what ideas you will take about, you need to make a thesis statement and start writing your paragraphs. Remember that all your paragraphs must be connected to your thesis statement. I hope that helps. Good luck! ❤
